“ The result of this is an Internet where all of the world's CRUD apps are hosted in Loudoun County, VA (motto: "where tradition meets innovation"), at Amazon's us-east-1 in Ashburn, a city with so many Rails apps that one of them was elected to the county Board of Supervisors.”

So true it hurts

Having grown up on Heroku, it's such a breath of fresh air to see companies innovating in this space. Render, Fly are the big ones, but even little one-man shops like Hatchbox are good enough to deploy medium-scale production apps.

Kudos to these companies, the VCs, and the beta testers.

Does fly use Equinox or something similar for their hardware?

And they completely avoid discussing it again in this article.

It would be nice if I could know what their product is for because it doesn't seem to be the apps I work on.

So if the bookstore doesn't think it's worth it to spend more than 2 hours on deploying to the edge, maybe it's not that important to them, or :) ?

Congrats!

I love Fly.io, used it for side projects and I was very pleased with the UX and the free tier.

The blog post is funny but the style is a bit excruciating to read.
